The chinchilla is one of many endangered animals. Here's what people are already trying to do help and what you can do to help:
'Save The Wild Chinchillas' is an organization that tries to restore chinchilla habitats.
Their slogan is 'making amends with nature'.
They have created and distributed educational materials ranging from stories to street murals or even scientific papers.
People from Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, North and South America have helped in their achievements.
They also work directly with the local community.
They encourage and promote the keeping, breeding and exhibition of quality chinchillas.
They were originally formed in the 1950s.
They hold shows throughout the UK from September to April.
They publish five gazettes a year. The gazettes include information about upcoming shows and events, results from shows, and many interesting articles about chinchilla care.
You can join these organizations. You can be a part of the reason why chinchillas survive!
